Our story

Nick and Jason first met whilst working at a laboratory in Denham in 1993 and soon decided to form a partnership
together, initially renting bench space within an established chrome laboratory. After just 18 months they were
able to rent their own premises and Oakview Restorations was born. Their vision was to create a state-of-the-art
laboratory and they became the first lab in the UK to buy the Cerec CAD/CAM system.

Jim, who had been working independently for several years, subsequently approached Oakview to commission
zirconia crowns for one of his clients. The three of them hit it off immediately and joined forces forming
a limited company which included the purchase of the premises in Saunderton where they have been since 2006.
In December 2010 they purchased the adjoining unit to accommodate the
expanding team.

Oakview are a very friendly and responsive team. Great quality, first class service and excellent turnaround time. Overall, an exceptional lab.
